These are very small scratches and I should be able to buff them out with my PC. My question is what polish should I use to do it?

Would my buffing pad and Meg's quik detailer be good enough or do I need a little more grit?

Thanks for helping!

If you have a PC and pads, don't you have any polishes? You will definitely need a good polish if not a compound for the reason that you created scratches, not just swirls. And if you can see the badge outline, it is probably due to the paint under the badge not being exposed to the sun and elements like the surrounding paint. Post pictures if you can and good luck!

Good luck, Megs #3 will probably not remove any scratches, but fill them. ScratchX2.0, SwirlX, Ultimate Polish, and Ultimate Compound are all better options. What pads do you have and what PC?

i have the 7424 PC and the 54745 polishing pad.

I also have Meguiars soft foam polishing and finishing pads with the velcro backing plate.

From the videos I saw on youtube I think scratchx2.0 will easily remove these scratches but I'll give the more gentle stuff a try first.

My main difficulty with this stuff is that there often isn't a very good indication of how aggressive the cutting of the product will be.
If it worked like sandpaper that would be ideal because 220 is obviously much gentler than 60.

Looking at bottles of polish I have no idea if "mirror glaze" is more or less abrasive than "machine glaze".
(turns out it's more abrasive btw, go figure)

Good that meg's is starting to put a scale on the bottle to give some indication of what I am about to do to my beloved truck.
